A couple of days ago, on an LED thread, I expressed the opinion that one should only buy nav lights that claim to be approved or comply with the requirements. I opined that since a particular company (the one about whom the OP was asking for advice) did not state that it complied with the requirements but had only, according to its website, asked its insurers for their opinion, I would buy elsewhere. Fairly sensible advice, you might say? After all, you ask insurers about insurance, not the technical requirements of marine equipment?

Yesterday, I had a PM from the moderators to say that they had had angry letter from the company about my post and that consequently they had pulled the entire LED thread. The PM to me was a warning.

Tolerance, like freedom and beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Sad, isn't it?
